Lyrics

In the darkest hue
With the curtains drawn,
Suddenly my lights flickered,
And I heard her song,
Hey! You in the dark,
In the darkening hue,
This is the banshee,
I’ve come for you. 

I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
You have had your time,
Now It’s time for you to go. 

I know you’re way too cheap
To hitch a ride,
So I’ve personally come,
But I’m too young I cried
I don’t want to go,
But it was too late,
We were already down the road. 

And she picked up those who’d strayed,
And she picked up those who were strong, 
And she picked up those who’d blessed us,
And she picked up those who were wrong.
And she picked up those who had lost their voice,
And taught them how to scream this song. 

I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
You have had your time,
Now It’s time for you to go. 

I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
When the young ones come,
The old’s got to go
If you’ve heard me,
It’s already too late. 

I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
You have had your time,
Now It’s time for you to go. 

And she picked up by those who’d prayed,
And she picked up those who were good, 
And she picked up those who’d confessed,
And she picked anyone she could,
And she picked up those who had lost their voice,
Taught them how to scream this song. 

I am the banshee
The banshee you know,
You have had your time,
Now It’s time for you to go. 


A Banshee is a death-spirit native to Celtic mythology and was regarded either as a type of fairy or a ghost, regardless of origin a Banshee was always seen as an omen of death and her screaming was said to be heard by those destined to die

The Banshee Of The Darkest Hue (feat. Finn Eces)

Story of Floyd, a supremely talented African American boxer forced by the powers that be, with threats to his family, to throw fights against lesser boxers. Born at the wrong time.

Sincere thanks to Johnny Mc Farlane for his amazing guitar work, and but also his encouragement on the song. Thanks JD.

The Fall of Floyd

Wonderful music and cover art by BoxTox https://soundcloud.com/user-247600493, story, narration and sound effects by myself.

This is a second instalment in the story of Veronique and Jeremiah from 'Jeremiah and the Moon'. This chapter precedes the last episode.
I intend to work on further episodes in the story, each preceding the last and going backwards in time. BoxTox has very kindly agreed to allow me to tell the story over his beautiful music. 
It may take some months to develop and I will post them here as I produce them. The continuing story https://soundcloud.com/garddwrporffor/sets/jeremiah-and-the-moon

Silver Lake

The silver lake sent light 
to splash upon their skin
who knows where we end up
when we first begin

Veronique and Dominique held warm hands in the dark
the liquid coolness moved around their bodies 
Two fragile creatures, building their own "ark"
Two creatures blessed by unawareness

The circling arms of lovers, enveloping charms
Draw expanding lines upon the silver
Silence, oh so deep and still with languid lapping sounds
Evanescent ripples in the mirror


Dominique rose up and slipped into the depths
All evidence of movement slowly faded
Veronique swam quietly awaiting her return......

Such simple ways in which our lives are shaded....

Get N Old

To my youngest boy

Lyrics:

Take one step, my son
Then another
You may stumble
But I’m here to help you through. 
Young legs take time to strengthen,
That’s why I’m here until they do.

Take small steps, my son
Then another
I’ll be with you,
To help you make them your own.
Young boys take time to strengthen,
And I won’t stop until your grown.

Chorus
And for those steps 
That await your future
When all seems lost
And hope despairs,
When my hand’s too weak to catch you,
Remember a father is always there,
A father is always there.

Take those steps, my son,
When you’re older,
Keep on moving
In the direction you need,
Young men take time to strengthen,
And soon you’ll be the one to lead.

"Love is a gift from the innermost soul to another so that both can be whole."
The keys of true love (Part III):

💕💜💕

The air teaches you never to poison true love with unhappiness. If the love of your life is ever unhappy, your top priority should be to sow happiness back into the relationship. Because the filial self, which can enjoy many small things, helps your relationship to focus on the small, subtle and important things of true love.

Die Luft lehrt Dich, die wahre Liebe niemals mit Unglück zu vergiften. Sollte die Liebe Deines Lebens jemals unglücklich sein, so sollte es Dein oberstes Bestreben sein, die Glückseligkeit wieder in die Beziehung zu sähen. Denn das kindliche Ich, das sich an vielen kleinen Dingen erfreuen kann, hilft Deiner Beziehung, sich auf die kleinen, feinen und wichtigen Dinge der wahren Liebe zu fokussieren.

SPRINGBOARD
With a jump I felt higher
With a springboard I fly
And our palms both reached far out
Into you arms until we pass out

CHORUS
You kind of hold me in a trance
I never really ever really ever had much a chance
I took a firm yet drunken stance
I never really ever really ever had much a chance
You had me with a single glance
I never really ever really ever had much a chance
Lets raise a glass and have a dance

Floating high dreaming higher
Whilst my heart is on fire
Looking down on the doubters
That know nothing about us

CHORUS

With a jump I felt higher
With a springboard I fly
I don't care about perception
This is my true redemption

CHORUS

Sent lyrics to Finn  from halfway around the world. He then enhanced and modified them and wrote the music.  The tracks were laid down with additional help from Johnny McFarlane and his excellent guitar playing.

Lyrics

If I could write something profound
I would
Make you laugh and be your clown
I would
Lift your thoughts when they are down,
I would
If I could always be around
I would
 
If I could flash a smile to make your day
I would
Strike a match I knew would light your way,
I would
 
If I could sing the songs that said it all
I would
If I could take your blame and take the fall
I would

If I could write something profound
I would

Tonight/ Featuring Jussi Welin on guitar

16th century. The Spanish Golden Age, the British rise to power. Strict Catholic childhood a perfect «Christian lord» should receive, and his thirst for the beyond — all the needed ingredients for the man Indians will believe to be the incarnation of Tezcatlipoca, the god creating and destructing the world.

The track is a part of "Tezcatlipoca y el Fuego" universe by Franz Wertvollen. Discover this story through La Alegría music video: youtube.com/watch?v=gpPU8mmnyD0

Full album coming soon.

Breathe.
Don’t you know when the river’s out
It’s not a place you want to be around, oh no
Close your eyes so you cannot see
It’s not a place where you want to be right now
Things have been rough on you
Things have been rough on you
I know
Things been bad for me too
Things been bad for me too
Oh I know

Liars and thieves and treacheries
Counter-intuitive conspiracies
Oh I know
Sinking ships with this broken glass
‘Cos baby don’t you know nothing evers gonna last
Oh I know
Things have been rough on you
Things have been rough on you
Oh I know
Things been bad for me too
Things been bad for me too
Oh I know

Breathe darling
Don’t let go
Breathe darling 
Don’t let go

Finn deserves full credit for this song. I sent him the lyrics and he brought them to life.  I had planned on laying down synths, but after listening to his version, I told him it was already a stand-alone song. He told me he had used 70 tracks to make it.  70 tracks!!!


I want to do something
That I never have done,
To make one last stand
With my back to the sun
Swim out to sea
and sink to the depths,
Be as a fish in my final breath
Won’t you join me?

Something I've Never Done (feat. Finn Eces)

I’m a song-writer who enjoys creating music of any genre.

My son recently introduced me to A.I. and taught me how to do covers of my previously released non-A.I. music. Since I've never considered myself a performer (except playing with worship bands at church or solo-piano at a rehab center) using A.I. is right up my alley.

Since I've  exhausted using my previously released music for A.I. covers, I now compose music in a DAW, rip to a wave file, and make an A.I. cover of this wave file. I then write lyrics to the A.I. music. It takes around 100 A.I. iterations to complete the lyrics and get a style I'm happy with.  

Brief Bio: Lived more than a quarter of my life overseas (Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan). Each country gave me an appreciation for different types of music plus probably why I get bored easily in sticking with one genre or another.
